Weird Knife Wednesday: CRKT Provoke Zap
(lemmy.world)
YesIknowitsThursday. I was busy yesterday. Anyway, check this this out:
This is billed as a "kinematic" knife and opens thusly:
You can easily flip it open with your thumb if you have your index finger through the ring, and it turns into a reverse grip karambit.
Unlocking it is a bit of a faff and I haven't figured out how to do that with one hand yet, but opening it is very fast and the mechanism is fun to play with. I have no other use case for it.
I’ve got this knife, and it’s such a fun knife to fidget with! I used it pretty much every day at work to open boxes and packages, and I like that it feels like a very defensive knife, being a karambit (business was a liquor store and the location wasn’t the greatest so we’d regularly get shady individuals).
Carrying this and a pocket canister of pepper gel saved me from assault at least a couple times (pepper gel for range and first line defense, karambit if they continue to try and approach anyway, which thankfully never happened).
Anyway, it’s a fun knife to edc! :)
